AI Made a Movie With a 'Silicon Valley' Star--and the Results Are Nightmarishly Encouraging

There's really no nice way to put this: In his new film, Zone Out, Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch makes you want to do just that. It's not simply that he talks about having sex with a jar of salsa, it's also that he looks absolutely ghastly. His face appears to flicker in and out of the head that houses it; his mouth, normally in a wry downturn, droops and then disappears. His co-star, Elisabeth Gray, doesn't fare much better: a mustache--someone else's--finds a home above her lips. The director of the film, who goes by "Benjamin," was not available for comment.
